This salad is a hit at summer BBQs! The feta adds such a nice touch!
Easy and quick! I made it for a picnic and everyone loved it! Will make again!
Pasta salad is too much carbs for summer! 🥴
Yummy! But what’s red wine vinegar? Can I use apple cider instead?
This pasta salad is super refreshing! Perfect for summer BBQs. My family loved it!
I don’t know, I think it could use more flavor. Maybe some garlic? Just eh.
Easy to make and delicious! I added some grilled chicken and everyone went crazy for it!
I dunno, this seems too simple. Is it even worth making? What if it tastes bland?
Sounds yummy! Grilled chicken sounds like a great addition. I’ll have to try that next time!
Tasted pretty good but I think it needed more dressing. Felt a bit dry.
Yummm! Made it with whole wheat pasta and it was still delish!
Whoa, why is the feta cheese so crumbly? Mine turned into a mush. Not good.
Feta can be tricky! Maybe try a firmer variety next time. Not all feta is created equal!
Why do you add olives in a salad? They ruin the taste, just my opinion.
Not sure if I did it right but it was just pasta with veggies. Where’s the magic?
Don’t worry! It might seem simple, but fresh ingredients can be magical! Try adding some herbs next time.
Pasta with veggies is not supposed to be fancy! Just add some spices or garlic for more flavor. 🙄
loved ittt. so easy and takes no time. 10/10 recommend!
